Nice poems. I was reading and visualizing the story in my mind

So beautiful and romantic. I visited Chicaco in Summer a few years ago , went to the places you mentioned. 

I won't go to Chicaco in Winter unless  I have  a plum blossom close to my heart. 

The winter here Toronto is also cold and long. Just like what you said: "I am making my way to spring which is still out of sight".

Thanks for sharing
